Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan with olive oil or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until frothy. Add the milk, olive oil, and yogurt, blending until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no dry flour is visible; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and springs back when pressed.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
